Inflamed Eye

Today was an eventful day.  As we were leaving for the Per-Se Company Picnic, we were preparing Morgan by spreading some sunblock on her.  Unfortunately, while applying it to Morgan's face, a bit of sunblock made it into Morgan's right eye.  Not only did Morgan's eye get significantly inflamed, but her little face had a strong reaction to the sunblock as well.

One could almost draw a straight line down her nose to see where the rash was.  Half of Morgan's face was very red and rash-like.  Being the nervous new parents we are, we contacted the pediatrician's office to see what needed to be done to help the situation.  Fortunately, it was nothing serious and a little benadryl seemed to make her feel better and the rash went away in a couple hours.

Whew!!!   We survived our first parenting mistake ( I'm sure there will be lots more ).
